Command History
Usage Guidelines The first dropped packet of a given flow is logged immediately. The subsequent packets for the same
flow are registered but are not logged immediately. Registering these packets is done in a log buffer that
is shared by all the VLANs. Entries from this buffer are logged on a rate-controlled basis.
Examples This example shows how to configure the logging buffer to hold up to 45 entries:
Switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Switch(config)# ip arp inspection log-buffer entries 45
Switch(config)# end
Switch# show ip arp inspection log
Total Log Buffer Size : 45
Syslog rate : 5 entries per 1 seconds.
No entries in log buffer.
Switch#
entries number Number of entries from the logging buffer; the range is from 0 to 1024.
logs number Number of entries to be logged in an interval; the range is from 0 to 1024. A
0 value indicates that entries should not be logged out of this buffer.

immediate log.
